Ensuring the quality of our consulting services while also preventing long working hours and having employees take paid leave

While providing high-quality services to our clients, we also believe that our employees need to maintain good physical and mental health. We believe it important to reduce their working hours through business efficiency improvement and fundamental reforms, and at the same time, to deepen our understanding that healthy workstyles of employees lead to high-quality services.

We have therefore built a framework under which our staff members alert each other about long working hours, identify projects that could cause long working hours at an early stage, and make improvements, with the leading role played by management and consultants at the project leader level.

In addition, multiple committees, which are led by responsible departments or officers, check the statuses of projects and other points based on employees’ working hours and the paid leave taken by them. They have confirmed that high-quality consulting services are provided with appropriate working hours.

As a result, our monthly average overtime hours are 21 hours (FY2021).

Health support initiatives

We provide regular health checkups internally and offer subsidies for receiving health checkups. In addition, we have an external specialized institution conduct stress check tests. Thus, we permit employees to monitor their own physical and mental conditions regularly and to take the initiative in improving their condition.

We also take other initiatives to help employees maintain good health.

• Subsidies for employees receiving health checkups or complete medical checkups
  • Regular health checkups (all employees)

Establishment of an internal health insurance union

• We established our internal health insurance union in 2022. It provides employees with ample insurance benefits that are equivalent to or greater than those provided by general health insurance unions. The union also provides health checkups, encourages employees to play sport, and implements other health-related projects.
